News from Chris O.

Sweet. I bet the skull lover in you loves that news

[Eoghann]

To be perfectly frank, when he showed me the teaser last year(and swore me to secrecy), I thought it was a brand new design. So I'd be lying if I'm not a teeny, tiny bit let down.

But Calaveras is among my all time favorite decks, so I'm definitely excited!

Edit: here's the image he showed me last time. Dunno if the back has changed since:

[Cbkimble]

Oh yay, another wonderful recolor.

[Yashi]

Wasn't able to grab a calaveras deck during its kickstarter so I'm glad I could get these. This is going to be the first time I'm spending more than usual through backerkit. There are still osme Arcana goodies I need to get my hands on.

Hey! Eoghann isn't the only skull lover here! ..... Wait. That didn't come out right.

Needless to say, I will be adding some to my backerkit.

[Lord Nikon]

How long does the backerkit for a KS project remain open for additions? This is the first project I backed and I'm not familiar with this last step.

[Cbkimble]

until the creator closes it. Most of the time, the creator gives a deadline. If not, message Chris and he'll let you know. You also won't get charged until it's shutdown.

And to be fair, you don't even have to use backerkit if you don't want, nobody is forced to use it. You can just contact the creator to sort it out, he has your info from Kickstarter anyway.

I am looking at getting a lot more than I backed but I'm gathering the funds. So this is why I was curious how much time I had.

Kudos to Chris for adding this to BK at a substantial discount! Picked up a few.

[dazzleguts]

Nice take on Mucha with that tuck image.
Calaveras will probably look very different with this recolouring. Rather than simply reversing it all, which wouldn't really work for the skeletons, he's adding another element - a third colour. From graphic black and white to black, silver and gold. Very elegant.

[Bikefanatic]

After the presale Backerkit pledges, these will be available directly on his site instead of a KS campaign? Nice if that's it.

[caramelo]

Question:
Can I receive a Backerkit Surveys even I don't pledge the Arcana decks? - no money at that time
Since Backerkit Surveys is outside to Kickstarter...

Whant to buy all now!

[shermjack]

Even though you did not back Arcana, the backer kit is still open to all...I also did not back Arcana at the time, but was able to order off of the backer kit

Both the Arcana decks and the Midnight Calaveras are available for pre-order

Chris shared a link to all the face cards.

Cannot..... resist.... another.... skeleton deck...

Especially not these. The Calaveras are probably the best skeleton themed deck out there, so this is a no-brainer for me once available. MUST. HAVE.

Was tempted to pre-order through Backerkit, but it does state these are "exclusive for backers of Arcana" so I didn't want to be "that guy"..

[Eoghann]

BE that guy. You're getting them at a better price through Backerkit afterall.

[LouCipherr]

Encouraging me to be evil?

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

[Cbkimble]

I agree, be "that guy" if you want the deck. All Chris can do is cancel you order if he realizes it. Heck, message Chris and he'll probably say go for it.

[volantangel]

Haha i dont see a problem with it, heck pledge for an arcana deck and you are an arcana backer !

[ecNate]

Despite loving macbre and creepy decks, I'm totally NOT a skeleton guy, but these are so well done and almost comical at times. I'm so torn! That price isn't helping deter me either.

[rousselle]

ecNate:

I've regretted a few things in my life. Even had buyers remorse a time or two for decks I bought that weren't quite "all that."

However. The only regrets I've had with regard to Chris Ovdiyenko's decks is that I didn't buy *more* than I did.

Totally should have picked up more Oracles.

Still kicking myself over that.

Don't be torn. Buy... and be happy.

[Widdee]

Have to agree, anything by Chris O is sterling. Creativity, artistic skills, attention to detail and flawless follow through, he has it all. Can't remember a single snafu on his campaigns.

[Yashi]

FYI, backerkit lockdown is on the 19th. Too soon though. Not sure if I have enough funds for all the add-ons I want.

[walrus]

Almost always I see skulls and run. But I find these to be grateful dead type design. Might bite at these but I'm doing Randy, a Jackson and a couple others, trying to slow down a bit, my collection is getting out of hand, you ever find cards you forgot you bought. I was cleaning my car out the other day and I found three decks I completely forgot about. I only want to buy those that really pique my interest, these are close.

[Collector]

Almost always I see skulls and run...

[LouCipherr]

Well, I ended up being "that guy" and ordered a few decks of these. They showed up yesterday and I have been doing a happy dance ever since. Beautiful deck, and the theme was right up my alley.

Plus, skeletons.

That is all.

[badpete69]

I think most of us ordered those decks.... So we are "that forum"

[PrincessTrouble]

Got my Midnight Calaveras decks today. Really loving the tuck. Registration on the card backs is disappointing, though. Horizontal registration is not perfect but acceptable. Vertical registration sucks.

Pardon the crappy phone pics.
